  1. Hey treatment. Why waste your money on another PS2 when you can just get a slide card ($29) to use until X-mas. Around x-mas there will be a legal american released boot disk (they will be carrying them at gamestop stores for $20-30) that will allow your ps2 to play imports and any DVD no matter what the region. Also there is a region free hack for the PS2 DVD player out there somewhere.

    Save your money for more macross goodies. B)

    Tempting. Thanks for the info.

    Fwiw, I don't usually trust console-hacks, tho. Legal or otherwise.

    I just have my bro-in-law stationed over in Japan right now, so I'm guessing it'll be a bit easier to procure stuff from there thru him. I think/hope.

  2. I can not think of a single example where a live action adaptation of an anime has been better than the original.

    Graham

    Well, I keep reading and hearing that the live-action version of Great Teacher Onizuka's the best version of GTO, compared to the manga and the anime. But I haven't gotten a copy of it, yet, so I can't verify.

    Oh, yeah. There's also that Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon stuff. Kawaii japanese cast. ^_^

  3. If they do release a special edition of DYRL, I hope it comes with English subtitles.  Just to piss HG off may give them some incentive.  More R2 releases are having subtitles included, so the possibility is there.  Should be no different than our putting extra language tracks on R1 discs.

    Considering that it would be an R2 disk, HG would care less. It wouldn't play in a US DVD player that wasn't modified to be regionless. I don't think there are as many modified players as people think. Considering the price will be pretty high to import it, many will just go for the bootlegs or wait for HK to bootleg the new R2 version.

    fwiw,

    My dvd-rom player is region-free. It's what I used to play my Region-2 dvds.

    I didn't have to modify it. My video-card has tv-out, too, in addition to being a dual-monitor unit.

    Ain't no need for a modified region-free standalone-player for me.

    Guess I'm a little lucky in that department.

  4. I just have to vent.

    My hlj-orders shipped on Oct-8, according to hlj.

    It's Oct 22 now.

    None of my orders have arrived.

    Worse.

    There's no friggin tracking anymore on hlj-orders.

    I'm very very disappointed with HLJ. I thought I had enough faith in them since I've ordered from them almost exclusively for my Macross Toys and all my previous orders arrived promptly. Before they changed their shipping-policy/process.

    Unless HLJ changes their shipping-policy/process in the near future, I, unfortunately am never gonna order from HLJ again. Even if they have really good sales.

    *sigh*

  6. I always took it at face value that Ivano Gunther was just very bishonen.

    As for Ray and Akiko, umm, I always got out of it that Ray just became very uncomfortable because of their history. I mean, he still somewhat blamed himself for the death of her boyfriend, who was a very good friend of his. Now, if you thought it was your fault that a very good friend of yours died, would you be eager and willing to just run off with his girlfriend?

    heck, yeah!

    Akiko was hot. And she's single. And she's comin' onto him. Even without Sivil's manipulation.

    He oughta have bagged her. Instead of avoiding her.

    ---

    You know, come to think of it, Veffidas was a butch-dyke and she's really mostly always with Ray. And most of us are suspicious of Ray's standing now. Interesting.

    ^_^

  7. hmm. I only got 6 re-issues.

    two 1A hikaru.

    two 1S hikaru.

    two 1A CF.

    I gave my nephews both the CF and one of the 1A. They put it thru hell and back and it still ain't broken. I think they lost the canopies, tho. ^_^

    I'm gonna be painting one of the 1S into a Blue Max.

  8. I think it took them a week to send me a confirmation-email.

    I just dont have the tracking stuff anymore like their old ups-stuff. It's been a week since HLJ said they shipped my orders.

    Still waiting.

  9. I still luv the 1/60 line. The weight, the die-cast, the class. My 1/60 collection ain't complete, yet. Just no moneys yet for the VT, VE, 1D, and the M&Ms. But they're all pencilled in my x'mas budget. ^_^

    I got the 1/48 Hikaru-1A and am planning to get the whole line. It looks good and all, but it just lacks die-cast content of the 1/60 and the plastic seems a little brittle-cheap. It's fairly lightweight. For that, imho, the price of the 1/48 is just not good enough for me to be rushing to get it, as opposed to when the 1/60's made it's appearances.

    Wish Yamato can sell 1/48 at the $80-$90 range instead of the current $140 range.

  10. Dude, like, welcome to MacrossWorld.

    But, uhh, wrong-forum, man.

    This is the Toys area.

    Check the Newbie-thread in Movies and TV forum above this or re-post at the Other Anime forum below this forum where they're some big discussions with regards to the Robotech YF-1R.

  11. I actually question the intended gender AND sexual orientation of ALL Macross 7 characters!

    waaa nooo no messing with my elf looking babe Veffidas.

    errr, didnt see any sarcasm-tags on yer post, but...

    I don't think Veffidas looks quite like an elf. :lol:

    Sybil's the protodevlin elf-babe. :ph34r:

  12. SPOILER WARNING

    I haven't seen the original mini-series version of Macross Plus yet. I wanted to know -- does Guld die in that one? He suffers a rather gristly death in the movie version.

    I'll be getting the mini-series anyway, just wanted to know. Thanks.

    yes.

    but it's quite different from the Movie-edition.

    ^_^

  13. The title pretty much sums it up. I just bought the Perfect Edition DYRL Movie from Kevin. But he Macross TV series he carries says that the subtitles on it are just "fair."

    So where do some of you suggest I go to get the original TV series on DVD that has "great" or "really good" subtitles?

    Thanks a lot guys and gals. :)

    I'm not sure if DigitalEyes still have stock or not, but here are their prices:

  14. I'm fervently hoping it's a kit.

    The classic Yammie-1J is already kewl and really don't have any QC-issues. Most of us already have them. Some of us even have more than one.

    It won't be kewl if it's a bundled-stuff.
